Hosts of the Alamo City fundraiser include businessman Henry R. Muñoz, national finance committee chair for the Democratic National Committee; and lawyer Jose Villarreal, national treasurer for Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

“There’s always enthusiasm in San Antonio when it comes to the Clintons. People are always glad to welcome them home, and the state is very excited with the latest poll showing them (Hillary Clinton and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump) six points apart,” said Hillary Clinton supporter Choco Gonzalez Meza of San Antonio.

Both campaigns are visiting Texas after a poll showed Trump leading Clinton here by just 6 percentage points, a slim margin in a state where a Democrat hasn’t won election to statewide office since 1994. The poll was conducted by the Democratic-leaning Public Policy polling.
